BeamSense Structural Beam Calculator API
▎ BeamSense is a structural beam sizing API built for construction professionals, architects, and building software developers. Send in a span length, tributary width, and load type, and BeamSense returns a ranked list of beam options -- dimensional lumber, LVL, PSL, and steel -- each with bending, shear, and deflection checks already completed. Every response includes cost estimates,…
